Occupy Calgary protesters entrenched in Olympic Plaza have put out a call for donations from the public, asking for medical supplies, toiletries and condoms.

The group, which expanded from its city-granted camp on St. Patrick’s Island following a Saturday protest at Bankers Hall, posted the plea for supplies on Facebook as city officials kept a close watch on the latest annexation of public property.

Donations from the public have been coming in for the movement, which organizers say will be used to buy supplies such as food, but a plea has also been posted on Facebook for condoms, antibiotic ointment, gauze, hand sanitizer, hand warmers, toothpaste, toothbrushes and warm clothing among others.

The local action is an offshoot of Occupy Wall Street movement, which began as a protest motivated by the inequities of the U.S. financial system.

I came across this story of Lefties begging for condoms and other personal items at the 'Occupy Calgary' protests. They not only want guaranteed wages, free education, and housing but free condoms too...

What about dental dams. I don’t know why they want them, but I remember homosexual groups, a few years ago, talking about needing dental dams. Is it an oral hygene thing?

If they don’t get their condoms, I expect the abortion rate will climb over the next several months.

They want condoms?
What on earth for?
They already have the disease.........................

Well, I guess it’s obvious that the OWS gang don’t use condoms - that might be the only thing they haven’t asked be provided for free.

[Red Badger]

Uhh.......it serves the same purpose as a condom in the ...........other end........

“They want condoms?
What on earth for?...”

They want to fill them up with water to take back to their base camp. s/a

[brytlea]

And of course they will want someone else to pay for those...

Give them the condoms. That way your kids won’t have to put up with theirs.

[Red Badger]

Give them a roll of saran wrap and tell them to improvise..............

I could tell you, but this is a family board.

I got married in the State of Michigan, which required all couples to attend a public health lecture on AIDS prevention before they'd issue the license. I learned how to protect myself during activities I never would have thought of in a million years, had it not been for the generosity of the Taxpayers of the State of Michigan.

>> free condoms too...

Hey, you do what you want, but *I’m* kicking in for this.

Anything to keep ‘em from spawning...

The fools were too stupid to take a box of ziplock bags with them ... to zip up their effluence. I use them for cleaning the cat box, so I know it works. May they contact disease in their foolish state.

[Persevero]

Condoms are made by corporations. As are antibiotic ointment, toothpaste, etc.

Why would they want this corporate-ly made offal?

[Red Badger]

I don’t think they are concerned with ‘hygiene’.
They aren’t asking for soap.......................

[TexasCajun]

Calgary? ...it should be getting a bit cold by now for the Fleebaggers.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

An enterprising young capitalist could clean up (pun intended) by pushing a cart through the great unwashed and selling them these items at a modest markup.

[cuban leaf]

Oh JEEZ! That’s disgusting, and ridiculous!

Thatnks for the responses - sort of. ;-)

[Red Badger]

We don’t know that it’s the ‘breeders’ that are asking for the condoms.......
